Shigefusa 180mm Kasumi Deba is also now in stock Only 2 left
 
Beautiful, but are there uses for it other than chopping eel?
 
If you like big single beveled knives then this can be all around knife
Becoase Shigefusa makes single beveled so thin this one can slice dice and be all around
Heal high is 60mm So it is like Huge Usuba :D

Video of this beauty is up :)

Hey Chanop, maybe you can put the voucher you won towards buying this knife... Then maybe one day I can come and visit it :)!haha
 
Hej Maxim,

I was wondering how often do you update your Shig. "limited" stocks (I would love to get my hands on a Gyuto)... I didn't buy one after your return from japan as I have other priorities at the moment...

Reading around here a bit, I have never seen this kind of knife mentioned - the fish knife, I think usually called sakana-bocho. I'm guessing it's just a general purpose knife for smaller fish and for fileting. Doesn't look as thick (prices reflect this) compared to a miorishi, let alone a deba. Much like the nakiri is sort of the easy home-use version of a usuba, I'm wondering if this is the low-cost home option for people who don't want to get a deba, yanagiri, etc. Has anyone used one?

Hello Maxim - are saying that to you, these knives can basically be used as petties?
 
Now part of regular setup :D :happymug:

That's the JNS 6000, right? Do they a natural only as the finisher?

They use a light box. I used to have one I built, but it got broken in a move and I haven't made one since. Basically you use 8 side outlet 90° bends, and connect them with PVC pipe in whatever dimensions you want your box to be (24" square box = 24" pipe). You then use the box as a frame for your backdrop and diffusers (I used a black microfiber 'throw' blanket for a background and white sheets for light diffusers). At that point add your lights, and take your pictures from a hole you cut in the front of the box (this keeps the steel from reflecting YOU lol). The black and white really seemed to bring out hamon activity (others have used it to bring out layered activity in tamahagane...much like your 'clouds') in steel.

Here's a quick wiki tutorial I found, only they're using a cardboard box. I like the PVC better because its modular...you can have three different sized light boxes by just cutting different length pipes.

Hope that helps!
 
Thanks :)
